Live in Berlin

by WILLEM BREUKER KOLLEKTIEF

supported by

friccolodics A smile once a day keeps the bad mood away...but bad mood is far from the mindset of these Dutch masters. Outstanding musicianship and scored parts, marvellous musical microcomedies Favorite track: Jan De Wit [from La Plagiata].

Ronald Weinstock I have this on vinyl. Saw this band at the Tralfamadore Cafe in Buffalo probably in Fall 1977 and loved the mix of free jazz and European Music Hall.

The Kollektief offers both drama and inspired moments of humor, making for sheerly enjoyable music that's joyful and fun!

REVIEWS

"The music is really funny, dramatic, and happy all at once. The soloists are just superb, but Willem Breuker, who wrote most of the music, and Willem van Manen are most in tune with the real time of their music. A most powerful music, full of many surprises." - Coda

"An album that's essential to a full understanding of Breuker's music." - All Music Guide

"It’s excellent, this sort of free association jazz. Much here is extremely humorous and plucky and a bit maniacal – but a tremendous joy." - Cadence

4 stars - Penguin Guide to Jazz
